1953–1954
The Dayton Art Institute marked the fiftieth anniversary of powered flight with Flight, Fantasy, Faith, Fact in 1953–1954. Its documented selection included earlier works of graphic art, including religious and imaginative subjects. Exact surviving examples are Rembrandt van Rijn’s Jacob's Ladder (1655; etching, burin and drypoint), listed as no. 76 and William Blake’s The Last Judgment (c. 1809; pen and ink with wash over graphite), listed as no. 96. This is a partial checklist reconstructed from the objects’ museum histories; precise opening and closing days remain unknown.
